|
|
Hi,
results of "glsa-check -lv" gives me the following
Code: | [A] means this GLSA was marked as applied (injected),
[U] means the system is not affected and
[N] indicates that the system might be affected.
201010-01 [N] [remote ] Libpng: Multiple vulnerabilities ( media-libs/libpng-1.2.52 media-libs/libpng-1.6.16 )
201206-15 [N] [remote ] libpng: Multiple vulnerabilities ( media-libs/libpng-1.2.52 media-libs/libpng-1.6.16 )

"emerge -pcv "media-libs/libpng*" shows both packages are required by other official packages! does this mean there is security problem/hole in the official portage tree?
Code: | Calculating dependencies... done!

1.2.52 is probably affected due to age, but 1.6.16 I think is OK, unless my machine is compromised somehow. No GLSAs on libpng-1.6.16 (but yes on other packages that I'm ignoring for now.)
It looks like dropbox is the only package that is using the old version on your box. I don't use dropbox so I've no idea... _________________ Intel Core i7 2700K/Radeon R7 250/24GB DDR3/256GB SSD
What am I supposed watching? |

I have rebuilt dropbox without X and everything is now seems fine , but why should gentoo keep known vulnerable packages in official portage tree? |

Vulnerable packages tend to get hard masked (and removed later just like any old versions)
Masked packages will not be installed unless you unmask them, however packages already installed will only be removed if there is another way to satisfy dependencies |

libpng-1.2.52 is not a masked because portage says its a stable version but glsa-check says its vulnerable because it is not mentioned as an "unaffected version"
I think libpng-1.2.52 should get removed from the tree, I just manually masked it for now.
===========
P.S. = seems libpng-1.2.52 is not an affected version too, I cant understand, if its mentioned as unaffected why glsa-check says "indicates that the system might be affected" |
